Scam,...
Is the "reply to" E-mail address different from the one you have posted above? I think your Scammer is Spoofing a legitimate UBA E-mail account. I'll ask some better website people than me about it. Maybe it needs killing.

The reply email address is the same as what's on the email strangely

Greendog,
According to my sources, it's a legitimate UBA account. So it's probably been hacked if the reply to address is exactly the same as the from address. They will often spoof it by adding a letter in the reply to address. Can you post a copy of the E-mail header deleting any of your personal information? I'll need it when I see if I can contact UBA and tell them it may be compromised and to secure it.

Also, I think it would be a good idea for this exchange to be taken from this thread to a thread of it's own down in the "Am I being Scammed" forum. It'll probably get moved after your next reply.

Att: Mr. xxx,

What you recieved was an automatic respons from Nigeria costumer contraction center, even if you contact them a million times the reply is still the same But i wonder why contacted Nigeria UBA instead of Ivory Coast UBA that is dealing with you? Did your partner told you that her fathers funds is deposited Nigeria? Do you have a doubt in dealing with us? and why should you be?. If you ignor the UBA CI and contact other branch in another country what do you expect from them?. This is a transaction of huge sum, you and your partner should have build trust before getting the bank involve. UBA is never in any way engage in internet fraud infact if you get any information about ilegal activities you are free to report such person using the Fraud alart on the site http:/ /www. ubagroup.com. Also any email contacted you outside @ubagroup.com may be imposters so you have nothing to worry about you are in safe hands. Try to fill out the form sent to you at the earliest, i will get back to you once we recieve the form filled from you.

Lastly i am not suppose to be writing you regarding this transaction, but i decieded to make some clarifications to you, starting from now the remittance department will be contacting you for the ownward transfer.In case you need my attention you can call me both phone and email.

Best regard.
